Snake plants prefer bright indirect light (near a window or grow light), but can handle medium to low light conditions.
Water only when the soil is DRY! Your snake plant might look a little wrinkled toward the base when it’s thirsty. When watering from the top, water until it flows quickly through the holes in the bottom of the plastic pot. If watering with a saucer, discard any water that accumulates. Make sure not to water too often - this is a cause of root rot and can kill your plant!
No humidity necessary! These plants thrive in a dry environment.
They can handle temperatures between 55-85, but do better in the warmth.
Fertilize your snake plant with every other water during the growing season (Spring and Summer) with a well balanced fertilizer. Our favorite is Liqui-Dirt (not sponsored!) which you can use each time you water.
Try to keep out of reach of pets (and kids!) as these plants are mildly toxic if ingested.
